makes sense. Deepika earns more.

Another recent list where PC did not even feature.
<h1>India's top 10 most valuable celebrity brands in 2017</h1>



The new Forbes list is adjusted and actually more accurate than earlier estimates but ok. LOL FYI Priyanka made more money last year as well.

Also Priyanka hasnt been in India to shoot for brands and that's all Deepika did this year, however I do recall Priyanka does still feature on the brand list too

Er no. The new list is not "adjusted" nor was the earlier one an "estimate" and nothing like that was ever said. In fact, Forbes themselves have been tweeting the older list out just this week again.

The second list is different in the sense that it doesn't include all income. For actors, it only counts acting income from movies/ads and nothing else. So no producing income, no investments, no live shows or stage appearances, no events, etc.

For example, for Deepika the Highest Earner List would count the money she makes from her clothing line but the second celebrity 100 list wouldn't. That's why the second list looks so bizarre with people like Karan Johar making even less money that Sonam, etc.

Oh so Priyanka's production house income isn't even included in this. Interesting.

Regardless Priyanka is the only woman in top 10 in this list. One of 2 actresses in the earlier list. Made the most money out of actresses last year as well. Good for them. Actresses should be making more money. That's what this topic should be about... Not the fake headline and sensationalism that was attempted

Priyanka Chopra never shies away from giving her opinion on any issue. The actress is one of the most outspoken celebrities we have and this time, she shared her view on the pay disparity.
As reported by a leading daily, at an event, PeeCee opened up about being the only woman in Forbes' list that has men. She also talked about questions she gets asked about her pay cheques.
When the actress was asked if the zeroes in her pay cheques matter to her, she said, "Definitely they do. I was not born with a silver spoon and I worked really hard to be where I am today. I am extremely proud to be the only women on the men's only list."
Talking about the pay disparity and how men don't get asked such question, Chopra stated, "There are many people who talk about the kind of numbers apparently I get for certain minutes of my time. But has anyone ever asked the boys about the zeroes on their cheques? I mean they get a ridiculous amount of zeroes. I should be happy that they are celebrating a woman who has gone out there but my question is why there are no other females on the list."
A lot of actresses in Hollywood opened up about sexual harassment done by popular actors and directors. When the Mary Kom actress was asked if that has struck a chord with women in Bollywood, she said, "Not just Bollywood, I think it has struck a chord with everyone. #MeToo got popular not just in America but all over the world."


Why does she say 'boys'? Are 50 year old men boys? Or even 25-30 year olds? Is it something fashionable to say?

Am surprised how she made the list. Without any Ads or Shows or Films. How much does Quantico pay her? I think even if it is in Dollars, it still shud be far less than what Deepika makes. Does this only include her Acting fees or even her Marathi Film Production Profits?

I dont think Forbes actually goes and checks how much they make. Do an estimate especially for Indians and PC is good at spreading rumors about zeroes in her cheque.

She is a mediocre actor, below average singer and even she is overpaid.🤣
and great actors like irffan, nawazuddin, rajkumar rao get paid lesser than they deserve

Gender disparity exists everywhere PERIOD. Bash PC all the way to glory for all I care. There is a reason people like Sheryl Sandberg exist.

in education, medical and other sectors gender doesn't decide pay but qualification and hierarchy decide. Even in movies gender doesn't. It's the ability to bring audience to the Movie that counts.
